I will never forget my Demon's Souls experience. It sounds like Dark Souls will be even better.
And congratulations to 360 users, you finally get to experience this series as well.

Save points?  I'm happy and sad at the same time. Dark Souls is going to be easy now. Not sure how it'll work with online co-op gameplay though. Demon's Souls is only hard if you challenged it all by yourself  I'm looking forward to plowing Dark Souls with the friends I made in Demon's Souls.

demon souls is an awesome game, and certainly not for a 'casual' gamer. i really enjoyed your 1st paragraph Jahanzeb. i miss the days where games were made for pure gamers and not the 'watered down' games with pretty graphics to entice the uninitiated. you seem able to put into words the feelings all of us have but cant explain so well. you describe the big picture. thats cool. a number of the palgn writers impress me on that account. keep up the great work!

Awesome stuff! I can't wait for this game.
Demon's Souls was one of the best and most memorable games I have played in years and Dark Souls looks to be just as good, if not better.

Must play... Demon's Souls! It's just sitting there! (Deciding whether to play Demon's Souls first of No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise atm).

Like my fish lipped green haired chubby faced character from Demon's Souls? Man, character creation in that game is hard from what little experience I've had with it. Nice preview though!

From my understanding when the beacons are used, all previously defeated enemies respawn. So if used you get some health vials(I think) but have to fight your way back to the start if your health gets low. If unused you dont get a save or any health vials but enemies don't respawn and your path may be clear.. Risk and reward.... Not sure if info is reliable. But it sounds like a good idea to me.

Haha, I shall! I hold you opinions/answers in high regards!  Might just give NMH a quick run through and then dedicate 'hours' into DS, I hear the game's huge!
PS: We need to BlazBlue some more sometime!

Probably because it takes more than a week for the staff to play through the game thoroughly enough to give a good review rather than a rushed one that makes them look like they played only 25% of the game.

We like to beat our games, even if they're proving to be over 47 hours worth of playtime so far and are STILL not finished.
Dark Souls is kind of gigantic, gravedigger Ala.
